What Was Your First Mobile Phone?

[terryc101]

I'm so old that I can't even find a pic of my first mobile phone ffs!

Was it attached to all the other mobile phones using string?

 

[AndyStew]

God that was awesome. I also had the thin one after that before anyone else I know. D700 maybe?

D900? I remember it for being the only phone I've ever lost to date.

Anyone remember the original Summer Games? I had it on my Nokia 6100, would lose hours a day playing it. For sheer enjoyment with your mates, best game I've ever played on a phone, ever.

 

[mace¬]

f**k yeah! I remember I spent some silly proportion of my pay check to by that. What they didn't tell you was as the phone got older and dirtier the cool flick down to reveal the keypad got worse and worse.

 

[bloke]

i remember when i got my first phone with a sim card, was the size of a credit card!!

 

[riz]

I remember spending £300 on a t68i so I could take pictures with the camera attachment...

It was crap beyond belief..

 

[DrR]

Remember the Phillips Savvy, if you switched it off while sending a text it sent for free.

 

[Scrooge]

Very Savvy.

 

[riz]

Im sure we used to change message centre numbers with orange to get free texts for a few days...

 

[Craig]

My first one was the Siemens c25e
Nokia 3210
Nokia 3330
Nokia 8310
Nokia 7210. The camera came separate lol
Panasonic x60 cost £150 on upgrade lol

Sony Ericsson k850i
Sony Ericsson w850i
Sony Ericsson w995i
Samsung galaxy

And finally the not 4

 

[Ben]

Can anyone remember this bad boy?

 

[riz]

Yup and the other one shaped like a Cerbera's rear lights...

 

[Marc.]

Can anyone remember this bad boy?

I never owned one of those, a mate of mine did, and it was rubbish!

My first phone was a Vodafone thing, can't remember it's name though, and thus couldn't find a picture.

After that I moved to Nokias, like everyone else. 3210, 3310, 3330, then Samsung slide phones, and Motorola flip phones. Since then I've only had iPhones, so a pretty boring back catalogue really!

 

[decco]

Philips fizz and my first mobile number started with 04 ... or something along those lines but definitely wasn't 07..

 

[realnumber 1]

This was my favourite though...

The Z5 was superb. Swapped my nokia 8210 for one after the screen died for the 4th time and it was miles better.

This was my 1st phone back in 98 I think. Couldn't put the thing down for weeks when I first got it. Maxon MX-3204

First...

Pretty sure this was my first! I was way too young so the only thing I used it for was texting my mum what time I was home. If I took it out the house, which I rarely did as its weight and size would slow me down on my bike lol.

Second:
Nokia 5110. I remember having a Pokemon Fascia for it at one point!

Third:
Nokia 3310, definitely had one of those "WickedArt" car cases for that as well. Half the times that thing fell was off a cabinet or table, mainly due to getting a text or phone call and the thing vibrating off whilst simultaneously causing a small earthquake. Also remember the clicky-clack of the buttons would keep me up at nights on holiday when my older brother would stay up late texting.

Fourth (I think):
Nokia 6100. This to this day is one of the best phones I've had. Small and light but my fat fingers could still operate it. The only way you could take photos is with a camera attachment. This was also the first phone I had on contract! £20 a month.

Fifth:
Samsung V200, flip phone with a built in camera. Absolute space age. Was actually a pretty crap phone tbh. I dropped it and it snapped in 2.

After that I had a few of the Samsung D500/600's. Sony Ericcson K800 etc. First iPhone was the 3G and other than the 3310 its the only old phone I have left I think!

 

[Sir_Dave]

That's the Vodafone mobile I had

Same. Vodafone MN1 was my first mobile in circa 1998.

After that, i think it was something along these lines:
Nokia 8210, Ericsson T39, Nokia 8310, Nokia 6610, Sony Ericsson T610, Nokia 610i, Sony Ericsson K750, Nokia 6500 Classic, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 5S & current iPhone 6S. Choosing a phone used to so much more fun though, analysing Carphone Warehouse & Phones4U brochures for weeks, then getting the best deal possible on my monthlies. Now i just get whatever the latest iPhone is from work, for free :up:

 

[cat171]

Nokia 3210, I was one of the last of my mates to get a phone.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Same here. The Snake where you couldn't tell which head was the head lol.

 

[bozothenutter]

I think it is an Alcatel, but was branded KPN Jazz.
Got it because that was what we used in the army at the time....

 

[arranshuker]

Mine was an NEC DB4000. Was actually pretty good. Swapped it with my dad after a bit as he got a Nokia 3210 and everyone was getting them.

 

[Typhoon]

I wouldn't know which phones I had and when, we used to trade them all the time.

Yup and the other one shaped like a Cerbera's rear lights...

Nokia 7600. Swapped my 3310 for one but it was blocked!

 

[R3k1355]

f**k yeah! I remember I spent some silly proportion of my pay check to by that. What they didn't tell you was as the phone got older and dirtier the cool flick down to reveal the keypad got worse and worse.

Also it wasn't really in the Matrix like everyone thought.

This was the proper Matrix phone, was abit gutted it didn't have the flick down!

Think mine is still knocking around at my parents house somewhere!

Replaced it with one of these and thought I was a f**king gangster..............actually it is still kinda cool

 

[alistairolsen]

 

[R3k1355]

Extra points for it being emblazoned with BTCellnet, proper oldschool.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

This was my first i think was a hand me down from my nana, after she got a "upgrade" if you called it that back in the day i was maybe 9 or 10 year old

had a 3310 then moved onto then moved on to the even more rugged version with a colour screen the 5100 with a plug in camera
the rubber on the buttons was so hard i remember having blisters on my thumbs from it (i miss texting where you didn't have to look at the screen, perfect for school, touch type FTW)

 

[JP83]

Very first phone was some Motorola brick thing. Not too dissimilar to this:

I had the usual nokias: 3210, 3310, 8210
I had one of these badboys too. A Nokia 5510:

I remember that phone well, as I was at 6th form and had a Suzuki Intruder 125 at the time. I also remember going to town one day on said bike (wearing cargo trousers), and the phone bouncing past me as I was riding down the high street.

My bro had the Nokia phone from the Matrix. Well Jell bruv.

BT cellnet phone as mentioned previously in the thread, some random Sony Ericcsons, A google G1, HTC, right up to my iPhone 5c and now iPhone 6+

 

[Mavez]

I had this exact phone back in the days. Had it when I was like in 2nd year or something of academy, think I was one of the first kids to have one. I thought I was well ace like Zach Morris from saved by the bell. Man where did those 20 years ago...

 

[JON FOZ]

Motorola montreal. Wow! I once had no credit and tried to send a text 3 or 4 times, eventu ally it went through! Weird!

Best phone I had was...

One of the first phones that you could watch sky sports news etc on. Loved it.

Coolest phone I had... I used to look the balls!

Is that the "Matrix" phone ?

 

[Gally]

Sort of like a production version of it. They did actually bring out the matrix phone, I think someone else posted it. Lot rarer though.

[R3k1355]

Is that the "Matrix" phone ?

No, it just had the flip down part but wasn't in the film.
Weirdly the one in the film didn't actually flip down?

 

[j4mes-c]

My first phone was one of these bad boys-

 

[JON FOZ]

Next time I'm in the loft I'm going to bundle all my old phones together and get some pics.

 

[Euan94]

I loved my first phone, Nokia 3220

Complete with flashing lights down the sides and everything
